Speaking to media upon his return to the country after a successful visit to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly, the President said the domestic mechanism with Sri Lankan as well as foreign judges will conform to Sri Lanka's Constitution.

The President said that Sri Lanka managed to remove the term 'hybrid' from the consensual resolution adopted by the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday (September 30).

"We have firmly taken the stand that it is a domestic mechanism which will be implemented in Sri Lanka," the President said.

The President, noting that the main challenge he had was to win over the international community and recover the country from international isolation, said the new government's and his efforts have been successful.

He said an all party conference and a religious leaders' conference would be convened soon to discuss finding solutions to the issues raised in the resolution on Sri Lanka.

During his time in New York, the President met the US President Barack Obama and had a meeting with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He also had bilateral discussions with state leaders of Malta, Pakistan, New Zealand and Australia.

President Sirisena also had special meetings with UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, US Secretary of State John Kerry, President of the ICRC Peter Maurer, and the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth.
